“According to the poem, what is the image that the poet wants to transmit by mentioning ice to destroy the world?”

Fire and Ice (Robert Frost - 1920)

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.
